Story Was Biased Against Vouchers

I am concerned about the tone used in the story about the Florida Supreme Court's decision about school vouchers. It was obviously biased.

I took personal offense at your lack of understanding and coverage about why the voucher program works, especially for disabled children like my son.

By stating the vouchers pay private schools at public expense, you are misrepresenting who the public is. We are the public! I want my son to go where I know there are staff well-prepared to help him achieve his very best. Public schools failed to help my son, where he was not only not learning but he was also not given the proper attention he needed.

Disabled children are far more prone to depression and low self-esteem. Therefore, they require far more specialized attention than the public school system of a state that has no income tax could possibly ever support.

The McKay voucher program has allowed me, the parent and a member of the "public," to decide the best place for him to excel. He is doing exactly that now. Not only is he finally learning, but he also has teachers who truly care for his well-being and are preparing him for the difficult challenge ahead of applying for college.

And, by the way, the private school he attends is not religious. Please, take the time to research the other side of the coin and the negative impacts of the Florida Supreme Court's decision. Allow me to believe that South Florida Sun-Sentinel is truly a nonpartisan organization and that you want to report the "whole truth."
